Background of IGF-I R/IGF1R
IGF1R, also called IGFR or insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor, is a protein that found on the surface of human cells. This gene is mapped to 15q26.3. IGF1R belongs to the large class of tyrosine kinase receptors. This receptor mediates the effects of IGF-1, which is a polypeptide protein hormone similar in molecular structure to insulin. It plays an important role in growth and continues to have anabolic effects in adults - meaning that it can induce hypertrophy of skeletal muscle and other target tissues. IGF1R also plays a critical role in transformation events. It is highly overexpressed in most malignant tissues where it functions as an anti-apoptotic agent by enhancing cell survival.

Question
Q: Are Boster Bio recombinant proteins and antibodies sterile?
G. Jones
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-05-30
Answer
A: although the vials are bottled using aseptic techniques, heat-treated vials, and sterile stock solutions, they are not considered or guaranteed to be sterile. If sterile material is needed for an experiment, the material can be filtered through a 0.2 micron filter designed for use with biological fluids.

Question
Q: for how much duration can samples (cell cultures, serum, and plasma) be stored and still be stable for measurement IGF-I R using the EK0776 Human IGF-I R Picokine® ELISA Kit?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-01-04
Answer
A: Boster Bio does not evaluate sample stability. Variations in sample collection, processing, and storage may alter the stabilityof samples. It is recommend to assay sample immediately after collection when possible, or aliquot into single use volumes and store samples frozen. limit repetitive freeze-thaw cycles with the stored samples in order to limit protein degradation.

Question
Q: how to thaw whole blood sample for IGF-I R ELISA after freezing?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-10-24
Answer
A: do not freeze and thaw whole blood. erythrocytes are fragile and, if frozen and thawed, will undergo hemolysis rendering the samples useless. To keep your blood samples to test IGF-I R for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and collect the serum to freeze for later use.

Question
Q: Can IGF-I R ELISA Kits be used with tissue homogenates (or other non-validated sample types)?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-08-04
Answer
A: Unfortunately, Boster Bio has not routinely validated tissue homogenates as a sample type for ELISA kits. This does not mean that ELISA kits are not valid for other sample types than we have tested: it means further investigation is required. One will need to perform a spike and recovery study to determine if an unvalidated sample type will work with a particular kit. To perform a spike and recovery experiment, one should divide a sample into two aliquots. In one of the aliquots, the user should spike in a known amount of the kit standard. a dilution series is performed comparing the spiked versus the unspiked sample. Generally, samples with expected recovery and linearity between 80-120% are considered acceptable. This method can be used to validate any sample type that has not been evaluated by Boster Bio. for a more detailed spike and recovery protocol, please contact technical support.
Note: acceptable ranges should be determined individually by each laboratory. Additionally, technical support can help determine if a buffer component is not compatible with a given ELISA kit. please see the Citations tab on the product webpage for peer-reviewed papers utilizing a wide range of sample types. We also have an innovator's reward program where if the user validates our ELISA kits in applications or samples previously not validated by Boster Bio or other users, and share such information with us by submit a review, we will reward the user's efforts with a free antibody or ELISA kit from our catalog. Biocompare.com will also give $20 Amazon giftcard as an additional reward, if the review is submitted there as well.

Question
Q: is it okay to use citrate plasma as samples in Human IGF-I R Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK0776)?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-07-10
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can irreversibly bind metal ions from the functional domain of IGF-I R causing disruption of its protein structure. IGF-I R may be denatured as a result and may compromise the assay's measurements. The chilating sites could also be too close to the epitopes needed for detection and block the antigen antibody reaction. We have tested the IGF-I R ELISA, treating samples with different anticoagulants and decided that heparin or EDTA can be used for treatment of blood/plasma samples. Do not use other anticoagulents when collecting samples.

Question
To Boster; I have queries about EK0776 Human IGF1R/Igf1 Receptor ELISA Kit. Is the kit tested on rat samples? If not, do the capture and detection antibodies have been tested on rat samples individually? Also is EK0776 Human IGF1R/Igf1 Receptor ELISA Kit predicted to react with rat IGF1R based on homology of the rat protein with antibody immunogen sequence?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2017-09-15
Answer
Thank you for these queries, the EK0776 Human IGF1R/Igf1 Receptor ELISA Kit had not been tested on rat samples nor had the antibodies individually. Though the immunogen used to generate the antibodies is 96% identical to the homologous rat IGFR1 amino acid sequence. Therefore, there is a strong likelihood of cross-reaction.
